I was perusing the two 41s in my garage today and enjoying the beauty of both of them. I drove both around the blocks a few times just to exercise them. The coupe has a short circuit as if something that shouldn't be is turned on so it will run the battery down in a day. It has a power disconnect on the negative post of the battery leading me to believe the short has been there for a while. Anyway, what a joy to drive something that's exactly my age...well, two somethings.
Good to exercise the vehicles occasionally. Got four of them. The newest to me is turnkey drivable (1930 coupe) The one I have owned the longest (1961 Impala sport coupe for 43 years) needs a transmission rebuild. The other two (1928 sedan and coach) need a money faucet to get them on the road.
@clayton1961-2 Ernest, your reply literally made me laugh out loud! These old cars are simply a test of our will power if nothing else. Trying to put them back on the road with little to no written literature and, for me, no one close by that has interest in old cars, just adds to the frustration. But when you can overcome the obstacles and beat the gremlins, what a triumph it is. Now, when I can get in the car pump the accelerator, hit the old floor starter button and she cranks and idles quietly while still cold, just thrills my little heart. When I can drive it around town and she purrs, it gives me a great big smile. Then, when other drivers of newer cars give me a thumbs up or a wave makes me believe it's worth all the trouble.
I have two 41s a 2 door sedan and the 5 passenger coupe. I also have a show car 1955 Chevy 210 Delray (currently in the shop getting the Vintage Aire sorted out). They all mean a lot to me and I'm enjoying owning them. Thanks for your post.
